Sonic the Hedgehog XIII: See No Evil Tails pressed his face against the window, staring out at the rain. "I can't believe what happened. They won. They won against us. Bunny, Antoine, and Sonette will be ashamed." He looked at the steady stream of rain falling onto Knothole. It was only a week after the startling defeat the Freedom Fighters had received. Sonic X was nowhere to be seen. Binx's blindness has not improved, and she still has moments during the day when she goes hysterical. Sally, Sonic, and Tails have to hold her down because she becomes so violent. "I can't believe it, the world's coming to an end." Binx told Sonic that maybe they should become friends once again, but not like a divorce. It would simply be a separation. Sonic walked into the room and saw Tails looking out the window. "Tails, come eat." "I'm not hungry." "Come on Tails. You haven't eaten for days. You going to get sick if you don't start eating." Tails turned and stood up, raising his fist. "Then I'll die, right?! Then I'll be out of this hell hole, right?! I'll be with my family!" Sonic walked towards him and grabbed his neck. "You wanna die? I'll kill you right now and put you out of your misery." "Let go! I can't breath!" Sonic obediently let go of the hold. "Let that be a lesson to you Tails. God didn't make you a Freedom Fighter so you would quit and die, did he? I didn't think so." "I don't understand why you aren't upset Sonic. You're not married, and your ex-wife is blind!" "I gotta get through it Tails. Life can never reverse itself." Tails shook Sonic's hand. "God, if I weren't so concerned with my love life right now, I would hug you!" "Concerned?" Tails bushed. "Sonic, I'm 19 years old." "Oh! Well you better start looking you know!" They laughed as they walked into Binx's room. "Robotnik, a strange black panther has been seen roaming Knothole," Tails X said, looking through the telescope. "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT?" Robotnik demanded. "Um, Robotnik, if you haven't noticed this isn't really a wildlife area." "Gee, thanks for the useless info." "Mr. Wizard over there thinks he's the king," Knuckles said, standing up. Tails X walked away from the telescope. "I don't care anymore. When you guys get eaten by that thing don't come crawling to me." Destiny laughed. "We can't silly if we're inside the panther!" Robotnik rolled his eyes. "Oh my my my..." Sirens sounded throughout the castle. Robotnik ran towards the telescope. "We're under attack!" Destiny threw down her hair brush and jumped under the table. "Ahhhh! The panther's here!" "It's not the stinking panther! At least I don't think so..," Knuckles said, getting mad. "Then what's attacking us?" Robotnik asked. Tails X checked the castle using the security cameras. "No one is in the castle, Robotnik. I don't know what could have set off the-" A loud knock came at the door. Destiny crawled out from under the able and pressed herself against the wall. "Oh my God, we're all gonna die." The knock came once again, this time shaking the door. Destiny grabbed Knuckle's arm. "It's going to killing us!" Before Robotnik could reach the door, the door flew out of the hinges and crashed to the door at his feet. "Sonic X, what-what is it?" Sonic X walked into the room and saw Destiny. He walked over to her and pulled her away from Knuckles. "What kind of sister are you?" He saw the bruise on her arm. "Oh, and what is this? A boo boo?" He threw her arm down and looked at Tails X. "And you..."He pointed his finger at Tails X, who was sitting on the window sill. "What do you want with me?" Tails X said smiling. Sonic X dragged Destiny over to Tails X, holding her arm. "What the heck do you call this? A hickey?" Tails X laughed. "JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!" Destiny cried in pain. "What do you want me to say?" he said, jumping down from the window sill. Sonic X grabbed Tails X's chin. "Say you did this to her," he whispered. "No." He squeezed him harder. "Say it." Tails X yelped in pain. "I did it," he whispered. "LOUDER." "I did it, I hit her," he announced to everyone. Chapter 2 Sonic X threw down Destiny's arm once again. "You better watch it, your a little hot-headed. Just because I was gone, doesn't mean you take over my place in the castle." "And what place is that?" Robotnik laughed. Sonic X turned around and stared Robotnik in the face. "Listen you pot-belly pig, I give the orders around here. You do what I say. Cabeash?" Robotnik pushed him away. "No way! I may not have created you, but I can easily destroy you." Sonic X walked over to the door. He turned one last time to Robotnik, Destiny, Tails X, and Knuckles. "I don't have time for this crap. I have better things to do." He walked out of the door, and Robotnik let out a huge sigh of relief. "Binx, are you sure you will be okay by yourself?" Sonic asked, holding her hand. Binx stared into space. "Sonic, I can't see but I'm not stupid. Go, go." Sonic, Tails, and Sally were going to a pigeon keepers house to see if one of their pigeons brought back Sonette's skull. "Go Sonic. I'll be fine." "Sonic, the taxi is here. Let's go," Tails shouted into the house. Sonic got up and walked to the taxi. "Bye Binx." After they left, Binx sat in silence. "If only I could see one more time." She played with a blanket on the bed she was sitting on. She tried to pass the time. "@This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine...this little light on mine, I'm gonna let it- @ who's there?" Her singing was disturbed by something being knocked over. "Sonic?" It was silent. She tried to start to sing again, but fear overwhelmed her. She began to cry. "This is terrible. I can't take it any...who's there?" "Don't worry Binx. I'm here to help." "Sonic?" A hand grabbed her shoulder. "Binx, come with me." "Sonic?! Sonic?!" "Binx, it's me. Sonic X. Come with me Binx. Join the third side of this ordeal." "No, no. Please, leave. There is no third side. Only good and evil. Good and evil!" The hand disappeared. She felt it on her face. "I am your destiny...," the voice whispered in her ear. She was shaking with fear. "Why are you doing this?" "Destiny..." She pushed his hand off her face. "No! Get away!" She felt a glass bottle against her face. "Binx, join me." "The potion..." "There is some left Binx. I found it. Something out in Knothole may have used it. But it doesn't matter now. Join me and drink...become animal again..." "I would like that, but no! I can't! I've been bad before..." Sonic X laughed. "You wouldn't be bad! I am not good nor evil." Binx searched for the potion. "Let me have it..." Sonic X pulled it out of reach. "Oh no no no! This potion is part of the deal! Are you in........or out?" "I guess I'm...." "In or out..." Binx stood up and put out her hands. "In." Chapter 3 Sonic X took out a pair of bracelets. "These are just to make it official." He pressed them against Binx's wrists. "No!" Binx said, feeling the bracelets brush her hands, she pulled her hands away. "No! I won't! I want that potion now and I won't become bad to get it!" "I'm not bad, Binx. We'll be partners, that's why I pulled you out Binx, I was hoping that I would get this opportunity. Even though you cannot see, I can." Binx pushed him away. "Get out! Now!" Sonic X pushed her onto the bed. He held her down and placed the bracelets onto her wrists. A surge of electricity went through her body. "NOOOOO!" "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Good-bye Freedom Fighters!" Sonic X let Binx up. "Come." "Yes, Sonic X. I will follow," she said as her eyes turned red. They walked out of the door and into the woods. "Robotnik! That black panther is back again!" Knuckles cried as he saw the panther sniffing around the castle. Robotnik got up and ran downstairs. "Let's go!" They ran down and pushed open the door. There was nothing outside. Tails X punched the wall. "We beat them, but why do I feel like that panther has something to do with this whole ordeal?" Destiny wrapped her arms around him. "Tailsie, don't worry. We'll beat them, if we have to." Sonic X led Binx into a dark cave. "We're here." He threw her onto a rock. "Stay there, I'll be back." Binx began to cry as Sonic X left. "Why is this happening? This is so confusing! I'm half and half!" Tears flowed down her face. She looked up and noticed something blurry. "What's happening to me?" The picture became clearer, and finally she could see. "I'M BACK! But what is that?" She looked into the corner and saw a stand with tiny holes in it. There were seven, seven holes. "This is where the emeralds will be once he gets them!" "Once you get them," a figure behind her said. Binx turned around and saw a tiny black kitten sitting on her rock. "Aw, aren't you so cute?!" She picked it up and walked to the door. "There you go," she said, putting it down. The kitten stayed at the door, hiding behind a wall. Binx looked at the crystal holes and saw the green emerald. She picked it up and placed it in her pocket. The kitten ran in and bit her leg. "Ow! Shoo shoo you stupid cat!" Binx kicked the kitten out the door. She ran out of the door and towards the cabins. The kitten smiled. "Stupid girl. I tried to warn her." Chapter 4 Sonic, Tails, and Sally returned a short time after Binx did. she told the story. "You should have brought that kitten home!" Sally said. She looked on the window sill and saw a crow. "Hey guys, look at that cool black crow!" Sonic walked over and put his index finger out to see if the bird would sit on it. The crow bit Sonic. "Ow! Stupid little..." He reached for the bird but it flew away. Tails laughed. "Serves you right! That thing could have rabies!" "Ha ha, real funny," he said, washing his hand. "Binx, I can't believe you can see again. It's a miracle!" Binx rubbed her eyes. "I keep thinking it's a game, it was all too easy. I mean, I was able to see at that moment, weird stuff." Sally hugged her as she held the emerald. "It's so good to have the green chaos emerald back!" Tails rubbed his chin as he spoke. "Let's go and look in the cave." Sonic and Sally ran out the door. "Come on! Before he returns from where he was when Binx left!" "Ow! Are you sure we're going the right way?" Robotnik said, brushing the branches away. Knuckles kept walking towards the clearing. "Panthers like wide open areas. I bet you the panther is in the clearing." "I hate this! Look at my hair!" Destiny cried, pulling leaves out of her hair. "Are we there yet Knuckles?" Knuckles pulled away a clump of branches to reveal the clearing. He quickly close it, seeing Sonic X sitting on a rock. Robotnik pushed Knuckles out of the way and walked into the clearing. "Sonic X! What are you doing here?" "Get away from me." Tails X walked into the clearing followed by the others. "Awww, is that anyway to treat your peers?" Sonic X didn't look at them. He just stared blankly at the ground. "I have no peers." Destiny walked over and put her arm around him. "Sonic X, join us. You're a minority!" "I don't care." "What did we do to you?" Knuckles asked. "I was perfectly fine without you. Now look at me. You are back Robotnik. It's not fair." Robotnik laughed. "We could crush you like a bug. We're a majority! 4 against 1 isn't very fair!" "YEAH, BUT 4 AGAINST 5 IS!" Sonic yelled as he, Sally, Tails, and Binx ran into the clearing. Sonic X looked at them and saw Binx. "It can't be..." "I would never join the bad side," Binx said. "He's not bad." "We're bad!" Destiny yelled. Sonic threw up his hands. "Whoa whoa whoa! Who said that?" "Who said what?" Tails X asked. "Someone answered Sonic X's question for him." The black panther appeared behind Sonic X. "He is not bad." Tails laughed. "Hey man, groovy cat!" The black panther transformed into a black kitten. "Remember me Binx?" Binx gasped. "Oh my God!" The black kitten then transformed into a black crow. "Remember me Sonic?" "It can't be! But how?" Sonic X jumped back with Sonic. "I have nothing to do with it!" "SHE DRANK THE POTION!" Binx yelled. "WHAT POTION?! YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE POTION!" Sally yelled. "SONIC X THREATENED ME WITH THE POTION! OUR POTION! SHE GOT TO IT BEFORE SONIC X DID!" Tails X morphed into his eagle. He smiled. "So did I." The black crow transformed into a girl. Like Binx but with black eyes and black hair. "My name is Kit. Kit Panther." Robotnik whistled. "Hey, nice legs! You bad?" She smiled. "I don't take sides." Sonic X walked over to Robotnik and held out his wrists. "Put them on and lets get out of here." Destiny smiled and hugged Sonic X. "I knew you'd join us again!" Kit transformed into a black snake and slithered over to Sonic X. "Look out!" Destiny screamed. Sonic X jumped as the snake tried to bite him. Sonic ran over and tried to grab the snake but it turned around and bit Sonic. "SONIC!" Binx said, holding his head. Kit transformed back into herself. "I'll be back for you Sonic X. I need that potion for myself. I need to become stronger." "I need a place to live. The castle is my only help because I have these nitwits to guard me. You'll never get the potion now!" Kit laughed. She turned to Binx and pointed at Sonic X. "He brings meaning to the phrase `See No Evil', huh?" Sonic stepped in front of Binx, guarding her. "Don't ever come near her again." "STOP! STOP STOP STOP!" Tails X screamed. "What?!" Kit said, annoyed. "How long have you been this way?" "As in..." "Able to morph?" "Oh, a couple of years. Why?" Sally's eyes went wide. "Oh no!" Tails held Sally as she collapsed. "NO NO NO NO!" "What is it?!" Sonic cried, confused. "SHE-SHE HAS MY MOTHER'S HEAD!" Chapter 5 Tails X gasped. "That pigeon was black." Kit smiled. "Black's my color." Tails held Sally back as she tried to hit Kit. "GIVE IT BACK!" "I don't have it anymore." "THEN WHO DOES?!" Binx demanded. "I dropped it off somewhere." "Tails! Tails!" a voice behind him. Tails turned around and saw Miles. "Miles! What are you doing here?" Miles held up Sonette's head. "I found it at the graves! I was coming back to visit you so I decided I would go by the graves. It was laying on Sonette's grave." Tails looked mysteriously at Kit. "Did you know?" "No. I had no idea. Seriously." Miles walked over to Kit and smiled. "Hey cutie, what ya say we catch a bite to eat?" Kit transformed into a black tiger with white stripes. She hissed at him. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" Tails ran towards Miles. "Miles get away!" Miles stretched out his hand. "I only want to pet her..." Kit snapped at Miles and then jumped on him. "AHHHHHHH! TAILS!" Tails screamed and dropped to his knees. "NOOOO! MILES NO!" Sonic jumped onto Kit and tried to pull her off. Blood was flying everywhere. "YOU'RE KILLING HIM!" Robotnik and Knuckles joined in the fight to get her off. "DON'T KILL HIM! STOP!" Robotnik yelled. So everyone but Tails was trying to get Kit off of Miles. Miles abruptly stopped crying. Kit jumped off of him, blood dripping off her mouth. "Blood." Miles, bloody and torn, laid in front of her. His face was barely recognizable. "NOOOO! TAILS!" "She's a vampire! Get away!" Destiny yelled. Kit transformed into her normal self and bowed. "Thank you, thank you. What would you like me to be next?" Destiny waved her hands. "No no, you stay there, Count Transforumla." Kit turned around to face Sonic X. "I'll be back for the potion. You better have it, or you'll be next." She turned into an eagle and flew away. Sonic walked over to Sonic X and tapped his chest. "You better bring the potion." Sonic X nodded. "I will. If it means one of us dying to get it, then I will." Tails held Miles in his arms. "Miles...no..." He began to cry as he remembered when Miles left Knothole. His face clinging to the window. Tails looked up at the sky and shuddered. "I'll get you Kit, you and all your stinkin' transformations!" Sonic helped Tails up and they start to walk away. "Um, are you going to have a funeral?" Robotnik asked. Tails turned around and snarled, "Why? So you could come and ruin it?" Robotnik shook his head. "Tails, I have never been so-" "FULL OF IT!" Tails screamed. "I have never been so serious in my life Tails. Miles was a good fighter and I think we want to show that by going to his funeral." "You can come," Tails whispered. Robotnik smiled. "I promise nothing will happen." Sonic X walked over to Binx and put his hands on her shoulders. "Any second thoughts about me and you?" "None what so ever." He frowned. "I just want my emerald back..." "That's all you want?" "Oh no! And you." Binx laughed. "Everyone else left but me. I have to go." "Destiny...," he whispered in her ear. "Sonic X, I will never be on your side. Not after what you did to my friends." Sonic X chuckled. "The Incredible Explosive Man, who would have thought?" "How did you do it? Blow them up? I mean, you were wired. If it went off, you would have blown up too." He raised his finger to his lips. "Shhhh, great magicians never reveal their secrets." Binx walked away, looking at Sonic X. "See you at the funeral." Sonic X held up his bracelets. "You," he mouthed. "Soon enough." Sonic The Hedgehog XIV: A Moment Of Peace!
